Notes
Other people's session IPAs are either too wimpy, too cat-urine-ey, soapy, over-aged (I like 'em fresh), or just plain gross. This is a fine, bog-standard IPA, with few frills. I like to change the hop varietals around, but I generally stick to one all around hop, just to showcase that. Adding the hops in the last ten minutes gives it an amazing flavour and a different bittering tone than a full 60 minute hop boil, at the cost of using a boat-load of messy hop pellets. I strain them out with a funnel and a women's stocking. Cheap and effective.
And yes, I consider 7.64% ABV sessionable, thirst-quenching, and whatever pretentious adjectives apply. It's all about 2 things with me, effectiveness and flavor. 7.64 is definitely an effective brew, and it ages fast enough in a kegging system that by the time it's just right for drinking, the hops have hit their peak balance, and will stay that way for a couple more weeks. With a bottling setup, you'd have to lose a pound of malt extract, and settle for a wimpier brew to get the freshness ratio about right.
And don't worry about that crazy looking IBU ratio. Even my wife likes this batch, and she's not a fan of overly bitter IPAs
